- First and foremost it is important to emphasise just how breathtaking the views from this property are. The home has been designed in a way to highlight the easterly aspect, allowing you to watch the waves rolling into shore from your kitchen, enjoy whales migrating and dolphins playing from your lounge, or wake up to views of the sun rising over the horizon from the comfort of your own bed. The views will NEVER be built out, and every day offers you something new and just as amazing as the day before.
- The expansive 3 storey home has been well constructed using concrete and rendered double brick, and has marine grade finishes throughout. It is ideal for the oceanfront position and ensures that the home will stand the test of time.
- The incredibly versatile layout can accommodate any number of lifestyles. The 1st & 2nd floors comprise the 'main area' of the home, with an open plan living, dining and kitchen. There are 2 bathrooms, a study, and 3 bedrooms. The main has an ensuite, private balcony, and dual walk-in robes. The ground floor is self contained with open living, dining and kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a study. This is perfect for those with a large/extended family or those who would like to create an additional revenue stream utilising one or both levels as holiday rentals.
- Both kitchens have been fitted with quality materials and appliances. The 1st floor features Deckton stone benchtops, Bosch appliances, warmer drawer, and bar fridge while the ground floor has Caesarstone benchtops and Smeg appliances. Each is beautifully designed and finished to ensure preparing every meal is a pleasure not a chore.
- There is plenty of space for the whole family to enjoy with 2 large living areas overlooking the ocean. Both feature built-in gas fireplaces for warmth and ambience. During the warm summer months there are also plenty of outdoor entertaining options, including a large east-facing deck off the main living area, a paved undercover courtyard complete with shower and sauna, as well as an outdoor lounge area that flows onto the grassed backyard.
- Remain comfortable all year-round, with ducted air conditioning throughout the home keeping you warm through winter and cool through summer.
- An elevated position not only provides you with uninterrupted 180 degree views, it also ensures you have privacy from beachgoers below.
- For anyone wanting a place they can escape, there is an additional room currently utilised as a man-cave, which would also be ideal as an art studio, library or anything else that will make your lifestyle a little more enjoyable.
- The home features plenty of space for your cars with a spacious double garage along with additional parking behind your remote security gate.

THE LOCATION
- This landmark beachfront estate is nestled between 2 of the Northern Illawarra's premier suburbs, Austinmer & Thirroul. Each of these has amazing and unique qualities, all available within moments walk from your front door. Enjoy a morning swim in Austinmer ocean pool or dinner at one of Thirroul's popular restaurants.
- Your four-legged family members can enjoy the beautiful surroundings too, with 2 dog friendly beaches nearby; 'Little Austi' and McCauleys.
- Embrace the quintessential beach lifestyle and all that comes with it. If you're into surfing, swimming, fishing, or just lazing on the sand then look no further. We have found what you need: perfect, uncrowded waves, sundrenched sands, charming beach cafes, and secluded fishing spots, are all at your fingertips.
- Leave the car at home and take a leisurely stroll along the established footpath to access all of your local shops, cafes, supermarkets, schools, public transport, and the famous Anita's Theatre.
- Austinmer is one of the most desirable suburbs on the pristine Northern Illawarra coastline. It is the perfect coastal retreat, approximately 1 hour and 20 mins South of Sydney CBD and approximately 20 minutes North of Wollongong CBD.

Research shows that people who live by the ocean are happier, healthier and less stressed, so with beachfront opportunities becoming harder to find, there is no better time than today to make that long awaited sea-change.
